It's so pretty.

First-year!

Over here.

Coming!

Huh? Where's our resident assistant?

What? She's not here?

Looks like Ibuki's on the loose again.

That woman really loves going off by herself.

Sorry that your RA is like this.

I wonder what she's up to.

It could only be one thing.

Yep, it's gotta be.

I'll go and get her.

It's fine, first-year.

Don't mind her.

Let's eat the lunches we brought.

I was hoping I could talk with her.

Plus, she might have gotten lost.

Botan Kamiina's heading out!

What a nice girl.

You said it.

Hey.

Was it okay to let her go like that?

Marche

I always drink alone.

Excuse me. One whisky highball, please.

Sure thing.

I'm sorry, but you look awfully young...

Oh, my ID?

Here.

Let's see here...

Everything checks out. Here you are.

It'll be ready in a moment.

It's easier that way, and I don't have to hold back.

And I'm sure that won't change.

Thanks for your patience. Your highball!

Hey, check that out.

Wow, that's beautiful!

Let's get closer!

Yeah!

Moss pink at my feet, and Mt. Buko in the distance.

But instead of the mountains or flowers...

Here I am, taking pictures of a concession stand.

Whatever.

Found her!

Looks good...

What do you mean, "Was it okay to let her go?"

Ibuki's probably off drinking, isn't she?

She doesn't like it when people see her with alcohol.

Although I'm not sure why.

Um, Miss RA.

Got a case of the hiccups?

Miss RA?

Hey...

You're Kamiina-san, the first-year...

Wait... Sorry, I've been drinking.

Oh, you get the hiccups when you drink?

It's rude and indecent, so I don't drink with others.

Even though I'm fond of alcohol.

I'd like to try some, too.

What?

How about it?

You seemed to be enjoying it so much that I couldn't help but get interested.

Kamiina-san, you can drink?

Legally, there's no problem.

I spent a year studying after failing to get into my top choice, so I'm 20 now.

As for how I handle my drink, I can't say.

I've never had alcohol before, after all.

Did I really make it look that good?

What?

Go ahead.

If you don't mind a half-empty cup of highball.

I'll gladly take it.

We're sharing an indirect kiss, huh?

Are you tipsy already?

H-How is it?

It's hard to tell through all the fizz...

Urp

I can't handle fizzy drinks.

Looks like we're not so different.

Yeah.

You shouldn't let it get to you.

Everyone's burped or had hiccups before.

Looks like the newcomer's pretty considerate.

Yeah, you're... right?

I will say that you don't play fair.

Huh?

Drinking something this tasty all by your lonesome.

You're...

You're really cute.

Wh-What?!

When I said I was interested earlier, I meant I was interested in you.

Seriously? Are you drunk already?

How would I know?

We should head back.

Not so fast...

I always drink alone.

But I'm sure that I let myself think, "Maybe it'd be okay with her..."

Hey, were they all mad at me?

Because of the way Botan Kamiina so happily downed her drink.

They were like, "Not again," and, "She loves going off by herself."

Running their damn mouths...

Student Dormitory

Huh?

Where is it?

Kamiina-san, you just got back as well?

Miss RA!

Working hard?

Working hard? It's barely noon.

That's how everyone greets each other in college.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night.

You can replace them all with "Working hard?"

Good morning, too?

That'll tire you out even if you haven't done any work.

Serious much?

Oh, right.

Care to join me for some tea?

I have some tasty snacks to go with it.

You mean me?

Who else would I be asking?

Sure, but it'll be no fun with just me.

We won't know whether it's fun or not until we try.

And I'll be the judge.

Botan Kamiina

Okay, I need to tidy up my room.

Please wait out here for a minute.

Pretending your room's dirty?

I'm not pretending!

I'll be done in a jiffy, so no peeking!

I mean it!

Yeah, sure.

Oh, I know.

Let me bring that out.

That's the last of the plastic bottles.

As for my clothes...

Not much I can do.

Guess I'll shove 'em all in the closet.

No time for vacuuming.

I should make a habit of it going forward.

I really took Mom cleaning the house back home for granted.

There.

Thanks for waiting.

Wait...

What's that behind your back?

Oh, you got me.

How's some wine sound?

Kyoho

It's a beginner-friendly wine that isn't sparkling.

I said we were having tea...

Is that a no?

Stare...

Stare...

I couldn't turn you down, puppy eyes or not.

You want to drink, right?

You're a good egg.

Here's to working hard.

Learn some more words!

You should get used to it.

Sure has been a while since I've clinked glasses with anyone.

Your room's pretty cute.

D-Don't look too closely.

It's embarrassing.

This is good!

I expected wine to be less approachable.

Glad to hear it.

Picking a simple flavor over something more complex was the right move.

How do I put it?

What's the right word for it?

It's tasty and...

tasty.

I'm the one at a loss for words now.

The more you drink, the more you'll pick up on scents and flavors,

Hint of vanilla

Assertive character

Honey aroma

Grapes

Sweet?

Sour

Dry?

expanding your vocabulary.

Huh...

Does that mean we're experiencing different flavors right now?

H-Hey, a little close, aren't we?

Stare...

Wha... What's up?

You really don't play fair.

What's that mean?

I want to taste wine the way that you do!

I'd love to make that tongue of yours mine.

Huh?

If I had your tongue, I bet this wine would taste way, way better!

Kamiina-san, you act pretty differently when you drink.

You think?

Oh, here.

Have some snacks.

Jumangoku manju with wine?!

They're delicious.

Botan Kamiina acts a little weird when she gets some alcohol in her.

Tasty! Way too tasty!

Or maybe everyone does, and I just don't know it.

The wind cries out to you.

Drinking with others is full of new discoveries.

Huh? What's that about?

What? You weren't intentionally referencing the old TV ad?!

Okay, I should get going.

People talking?

What? I was gonna ask you for help with my homework!

This late at night?

Who could it be?

Try doing it by yourself first.

Look...

Hey, let go!

Ibuki and...

C'mon!

Please!

Kamiina-san?

Don't abandon your juniors like this!

Yeah, sure. Good luck.

I'm begging you!

This assignment's taking forever.

I really should have had her help me yesterday...

Kamiina-san, what are you listening to?

Oh, I recognize this song.

Gujo-senpai.

I see you're working late into the night, Kamiina-san.

School work?

Yes. I'm running into some trouble...

Let's have a look...

Kanade Gujo-san. First-year master's student.

She lives in the same dorm as me and our RA, but she's our senpai.

I'm sure she must be really smart.

This is my first real conversation with her.

Try running it after deleting lines 35 to 40.

Oh, sure.

It worked!

You were one step away.

Um, thanks a lot for helping with my work.

Think nothing of it.

I know how hard first year is with that heavy course load.

Kamiina-san, what's your major again?

Industrial engineering, in the science and engineering school.

Oh, the same as Ibuki.

You seem busier than both of us. Are you getting some downtime?

Let me see.

I've gone shopping with classmates, attended a club initiation party...

As well as drinking with our RA.

What?!

Pardon?

Well, you know...

Ibuki's always drinking by herself.

You just took me by surprise.

Did she make an exception for you?

Oh.

Gujo-senpai smokes?

Sorry, I lit one before I knew it.

I'll put it out.

I don't mind.

When someone as gorgeous as you smokes, it's almost like meeting a movie star.

That's the first time I've heard that one.

You're funny, Kamiina-san.

A movie star, huh?

Say, if you're all done with your work...

How about the two of us spend some time together?

Huh?

Common Room

Seen any movies lately?

Toy Story, I guess...

I've never been in the common room before.

In that case...

How about something like this?

L-Looks hard to understand.

A real movie for grown-ups.

Sure, let's go with this.

Okay.

I don't know if I'll be able to appreciate it...

Senpai!

These shelves are filled with pretty bottles of alcohol!

They're glistening like jewels...

Can I try some of these?

Nope.

Oof.

All of the bottles on those shelves belong to Ibuki.

What?!

All of these?!

Wait here a moment.

Is this...

Chichibu Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo

It's sake.

Here. It's one of my favorites.

You're too kind!

Alcohol? Water? Huh?!

But there's also a fruitiness to it that comes through clearly.

It's my first time trying sake, but it's really good!

Is it that good?

Then...

Do you think Ibuki would like this sake?

Our RA?

Let me think...

I might be able to tell if I try a little more.

Glug

Here you go.

Yum

Yum!

More, please

More, please!

Glug

Here you go.

Yum

Yum!

More, please

More, please!

Here you go.

One more cup!

No more! We're done! I'll run out!

What?

So? What do you think?

Huh?

Don't give me that!

I'm asking if you think Ibuki would drink it with me!

Is she even picky when it comes to alcohol?

This is very good, so I feel like she'd like it...

"With me"?

Um, is that what this is about, Gujo-senpai?

No, it's not... I didn't mean...

Ah.

What's with that look?

I get it now.

Gujo-senpai, you're...

really fond of our RA, aren't you?

You're adorable, Gujo-senpai!

Wh-What?!

Y-Y-You must be kidding!

It's not like that!

I just, um, figured Ibuki might prefer sake over other kinds when drinking alone!

But I don't think she'd drink with anyone except me, with her hiccups and all.

And since she's an RA this year, a token of appreciation wouldn't hurt!

That being said, this sake sure is delicious!

Hey! Stop trying to play it off like you're a little kid!

It's not cute at all!

Should we just finish the bottle?

Ibuki Tonami

Looks like we're not so different.

When I said I was interested earlier, I meant I was interested in you.

I'd love to make that tongue of yours mine.
